The Deputy Chief of the Local Police of La Laguna, Elena Delgado, confirmed to the Cope Canary Islands that “it has been a case in which public opinion has intervened a lot, with many calls, but the reality is that they continue to use the same video as if it were happening now, and this happened on November 29”. According to Delgado, “we have carried out a follow-up, they have visited the place daily, but even so, the considerable social alarm justifies us bringing the facts to the attention of the Prosecutor’s Office. In any case, this happened when it happened, which was on November 29, and it has not happened again ”.
From the animal platform it is recalled that “before reporting on social networks, it must be done formally and that whoever witnesses animal abuse is obliged to report it, according to Article 259 of the LEU (Criminal Procedure Law), which indicates that all Anyone who is aware of a crime has the obligation to report it and if he does not do so, he will be penalized with a fine ”.
